2017 Disposal Rates

In accordance with the Monroe County Municipal Waste Management Plan, at November’s meeting the Monroe County Municipal Waste Management Authority Board of Directors has set the Integrated Municipal Waste Management System Disposal Fee for 2016 at the following Monroe County Designated Disposal Facility’s:

These rates are inclusive of all Federal, State, County, local fees, benefits, and taxes. Disposal rates are set by formal action of the Monroe County Municipal Waste Management Authority.

Monroe County Waste Haulers pay this rate per ton to the Landfill at the time of disposal. The average individual generates less than (1) ton of Municipal Waste per year according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. The difference in cost per individual for 2017 over 2016 rates is less than $1.00 per year on average. The cost for municipal waste disposal and the programs funded by the Integrated Municipal Waste Management System are funded by this disposal rate. This does not include the cost for the collection of municipal waste provided by your waste hauler.
